The history of Missouri's earthquakes
The 1811–12 New Madrid earthquakes were an intense earthquake series beginning with an initial earthquake of moment magnitude (7.5 -7.9) on December 16, 1811 followed by a moment magnitude 7.4 aftershock on the same day. They remain the most powerful earthquakes to hit the contiguous United States east of the Rocky Mountains in recorded history. Small earthquakes and tremors occur frequently in Missouri.
There have been recent reports of earthquakes in Missouri.
Reasons to start being earthquake ready
Earthquakes and natural disasters can happen at any time or place if you are not earthquake ready anything could happen without the supplies you need.
Take Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy for example, it was a normal day for people, they didn’t expect the worse, until the worse happened. People even went outside hours before the disaster even happened. Just imagine the people who thought it was just a storm and didn’t prepare. Hurricane Katrina was an extremely deadly hurricane a estimated 1,833 lives were lost, and Superstorm Sandy, 147 lives were lost.
That should really make you think if you should be earthquake ready because it can happen even if you think it won't
